"Good Experience, Room for Growth"

I have mixed feelings about our experience at Cardinal Newman Catholic School. The staff was generally supportive, and my child enjoyed the personal development and character curriculum. However, I felt that the school could have done more to engage parents in the decision-making process. Overall, I think it's a good school, but there's room for improvement.
